(from Land Rover
Press Release) Land Rover North America today presents the
first Range Rover Sport to appear at the annual Specialty Equipment
Manufacturer’s Association (SEMA) show. Celebrating a successful
U.S. launch earlier this summer, Land Rover unveils a concept from
the custom paint shop of Troy Lee Designs, a major supplier and
designer of premium motorcycle, ATV, and bicycle competition
apparel.

Inspired by the ‘technicolors’ of Las Vegas, the Range Rover Sport
Supercharged is packed with details. Completed in Southern
California at Faerber Productions, Land Rover’s long-time product
development partner, the 10-stage painting process was conceived and
executed by Troy Lee Designs.

Starting with three coats of House of Kolor™ black paint for the
base color, the process included over 250 hours – from base coat to
hand painted design and finishing. This includes innovative design
details throughout the vehicle – most impressively the application
of 12 karat white gold leaf for the Range Rover lettering. Using
colors ranging from Tru Blu Metallic to Candy Tangerine and Cherry
Pearl, the end result delivers a one-of-a-kind creation that
immediately states ‘Vegas.’

“Land Rover wanted a vehicle uniquely designed for Las Vegas , so I
got out the spray guns and went for it,” said Troy Lee, owner Troy
Lee Designs. “ The result is a Range Rover Sport with a scheme
inspired by the ‘technicolors’ of Vegas.”
